Pita Posted 23 October 2024 Posted 23 October 2024 A big win on Friday and a few more might like him a bit more.
Ric Flair Posted 23 October 2024 Posted 23 October 2024 Vestergaard won't keep quiet if there is anything going on or if Cooper isn't having him. 3

He seriously needs to up his game because we are not fully pulling our weight irrespective of our position with the poor decisions he's making. Continued goals conceded down the right yet Ricky has not had 1 minute of Premier League game time so far - absolutely incredible incompetence 1

He does not seem the like the sort of bloke to keep his trap shut, won’t shout out, but can easily imagine he will tell it as he see’s it in private. 1

This obviously does not mean it’s ok, Cooper has to fix this systemic issue, although if we do have this systemic issue, we could just play Ricardo anyway!! 3

Not just on here but in general. Speaks very well and respectful of the club, which hasn’t always been a given with past managers as we well know. I remain skeptical of him and his tactical knowledge but would be delighted to be proved wrong. I just have so many concerns watching us.

Yes the first goal on Saturday showed up the problem well. I know JJ got skinned for the 2n but by and large although down his side I've often not thought individual goals have been down to him I'd drop Kristensen who is way out of his depth mvoe JJ across and bring Ricky in. A new left back in Jan is imperative 2

It’s a little bit inconclusive.” Perfect language for him to suddenly be fit again for Denmark for the next international break and then have another reoccurrence after he comes back I think they have fallen out or Cooper really doesn’t want to use him He had a stellar performance for Denmark against Spain. I'm not buying it.

Rather, they’re just confused, rightly in my view, by his team selections and preferred tactical set up. I think many of us would be more behind him if he dropped this daft lopsided formation, which leaves us vulnerable defensively and stunted in attack, and switched to a basic 4231, with Ricky at RB, Fats and Mav on the wings, and Facundo in the 10. It’s not rocket science. 2

ealingfox Posted 23 October 2024 Posted 23 October 2024 Beggars belief that people on here thought giving Vestergaard a new contract was a good decision should have been told to piss off at full time at the Blackburn game.

Seems a nice guy, seems to have the players backing, but that goes by the wayside when your selections and tactics start us off on the wrong foot every week. 1

I get what you are saying, but if Fatawu (for example) starts, he likely won’t finish the game, and is he more destructive later? Cannot see the harm in trying it to be honest!
SkidsFox Posted 23 October 2024 Posted 23 October 2024 Win, lose or draw, we're going to see a meltdown at some point here on the day (even if it's just the team selected and Fatawu is a sub). Not sure if I can stomach it, but maybe I'm just deluding myself and will be lapping it all up. May be a good day to take the sleeping pills and avoid the stress. Not a fan of this kind of fixture.

It is a system problem and it has been pointed out before, buts it's cooper's way of creating an extra body in attack. I can't see him shelving it, but it keeps leaving us exposed, it is a weakness that is being targeted and it is hurting us more than it benefits us. Edited 23 October 2024 by murphy

To be fair, lots of people voiced their misgivings about seeing Vestergaard back in the prem at the time the new contract was given and especially at the length of it. 1
